SNARE (A Novel) by Prescillia Majoh

Juxtaposing
scenes of life in Berlin with memories of Cameroon as well as with recent
impressions of the protagonists who visit their former home country while
residing abroad, the reader is drawn into the heartfelt and compelling
narrative which does not only provide plenty of local colour but also does not
shy away from providing a political background to the decisions the characters
have to make…

In
SNARE, Priscillia Manjoh engages a diaspora narrative that reveals in graphic
details some of the realities of living in a context and culture that is vastly
different. The ugly realism of bushfalling (emigration) and the struggle to
become documented immigrants intertwine with a story of love and (un)pleasant
memories of home to make the narrative complex, rich and exciting. Through the
experiences of characters trapped in the megalopolis of Berlin, themes of
exile, dreams differed and culture shock are expressed with such eloquence that
makes the novel terrific.

SNARE
offers the reader a strikingly alert profile of the challenging life of the
African in a developed country. The author successfully portrays these scenes
through the love life of the main characters Jerry and Pamela which becomes
interlocked with the European dream and the tragic outcome of their
relationship as a result of the discrepancy between the appearance and reality
of what life in the West (Germany) is like. The novel is an eye-opener to those
who still have the intention of becoming “bush fallers” with the alluring
possibility of a successful life.
